• To the beloved clergy and the right believing Christians of our holy Archdiocese .
• The first Sunday of Holy Lent is dedicated to the victory of the Orthodox faith over heresies. The Holy Fathers who gathered in the Ecumenical Councils between the 4th and the 8th centuries have established the correct teaching about the divinity of the Son of God and of the Holy Spirit as well as the true veneration of the icons. ...
• This is the Christian life revealed by the icon, namely the restored human person as the image of God, the human person who tends toward holiness, that is toward the shining on his face of  God’s image.
•             I address to all of you wishes of peace and spiritual joy, of greater strenghts in order to worthily climb up the stairs of Holy Lent toward the light-giving Resurrection.

• Feast of the Holy Family (B).
• For Holy Families Today.
•    For Holy Families Today.
• On this Feast of the Holy Family we think of all the Christian families. Are there holy families outside the one of Nazareth? Yes, there are, each in its own unique way, if the members, parents and children, love and respect one another and let God nourish and deepen their affection; yes, if food and joy and cares are shared; yes, if clashes are resolved in a way that lets people grow together in forgiveness and understanding; yes, there are holy families where the door is open in hospitality and where the Lord himself is welcomed in people who are poor and suffering. ...
• In today’s celebration of the Holy Family our Christian families are given a model. In many ways the Holy Family of Nazareth was unique and impossible to imitate. ...
• Clothe yourselves, then, as is fitting for God's chosen people, holy and beloved of him. ...
• Glory in his holy name;.
• constantly seek his face.
• There lived in Jerusalem at this time a very upright and devout man named Simeon; the Holy Spirit was in him. He looked forward to the time when the Lord would comfort Israel, and he had been assured by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before seeing the Messiah of the Lord. So he was led into the Temple by the Holy Spirit at the time the parents brought the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law.
• On this feast of the Holy Family of Nazareth, let us pray to God our Father  as one family of God’s sons and daughters. ...
• We thank today our Father for having given us the Holy Family as a model of love and service for all our homes. May our families be as responsive to God as the Holy Family was.

• The famous opening sentence in Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina always runs through my mind on this Feast of the Holy Family: “All happy families are alike but an unhappy family is unhappy after its own fashion. ...
• It is Holy Family Sunday honoring Jesus, Mary, and Joseph as a family unit worthy of imitation. ...
• The word “sacrifice” means to make holy. No family can be a “holy family” without sacrifices. ...
• Our present national discontent and unease invite us to face up to the fact that sparing and sharing will be more beneficial than the unimpeded consumerism and waste to which we’ve grown accustomed over the past few decades.
• Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.
• Holy Family Sunday is as good a day as any, and better than most, to consider that God might be inviting you to walk on the path of forgiveness toward other members of your family from whom you may have separated yourself, if not spatially perhaps emotionally, psychologically, or spiritually. ...

• FEAST OF THE HOLY TRINITY .
• This festival is celebrated on the Sunday after Pentecost, because as soon as the apostles were instructed and consoled by the Holy Ghost, they began to preach openly that which Christ had taught them.
• That we may openly profess our faith in the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, which is the first of Christian truths, the foundation of the Christian religion, and the most sublime of all mysteries; and that we may render thanks, to the Father for having created us, to the Son for having redeemed us, and to the Holy Ghost for having sanctified us.
• In praise and honor of the most Holy Trinity, the Church sings at the Introit of this day's Mass: .
• INTROIT Blessed be the holy Trinity and undivided Unity: we will give glory to him, because he hath shown his mercy to us: (Tob. ...
• The Church makes use of these words to express her admiration for the incomprehensible mystery of the most Holy Trinity, which surpasses our understanding, and yet is the worthy object of our faith, hope and love. ... Let us submit our intellect, there fore, and yield ourselves up to faith; as there was indeed a time when men were martyred, when even persons of all ages and conditions preferred to die rather than to abandon this faith, so let us rather wait until our faith is changed to contemplation, until we see the Triune God, face to face, as He is, and in the sight of that countenance become eternally happy. ...

• Great Feast of the Dormition of The Theotokos (One of the Twelve Great Feasts, class 2).
• Holy God'stakingTheotokos'bodyand soulinto heaven.
• 15 August - Great Feast of the Dormition of The Theotokos celebrates the wondrous way in which Theotokos' left this earthly life and was taken into heaven in a miraculous way: both body and soul. Holy God the Son within the Holy Trinity / Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ received her soul and body into heaven. ...
• The Great Feast of the Dormition of The Theotokos recalls the physical glorification of Mary as she shares in the resurrection life of her Son, Holy God the Son within the Holy Trinity / Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ. When, at her death (or falling asleep, that is, dormition), Holy God the Son within the Holy Trinity / Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christrist received her body and soul into heaven, He in a way gave all humanity a preview of the transfiguration that awaits all of us in the Kingdom to come. Holy Tradition tells us that all the Apostles, except Holy and Glorious Apostle Thomas, were transported mystically to Jerusalem in order to be with The Theotokos as she died and present at her burial. When Holy and Glorious Apostle Thomas arrived the next day, they opened the tomb so that he could say his farewell. ...
• They took her holy body and placed it in the tomb prepared for it in the valley of Cedron, near Gethsemani. ... He wished to see for the last time the face of the woman who had been the Temple of God. ...
• Each one of us is called to be transfigured--changed by the power of Holy God so that we also shine with divine love and grace.
• The Great Feast of the Dormition of The Theotokos and the Great Feast of the of the Transfiguration of Holy God the Son within the Holy Trinity / Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ, on August 6, remind us of our need to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in our own transfiguration toward the holiness and perfection that God created us to share with the Holy Trinity. ...
• Each one of us shares in Holy God the Son within the Holy Trinity / Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ's divinity just as Holy God the Son within the Holy Trinity / Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ shares our humanity. Hopefully, we too will ultimately be transfigured to new and perfect life with Holy God in eternity.
• Holy Bible.
• The story of the life and the death of The Theotokos is not in the Holy Bible. ... Because the Holy Dormition is not recorded in the Holy Bible, the Epistle and Gospel readings for this Feast don't refer directly to The Theotokos. ...

• The Feast of the Holy Family, 1997.
• For days I have been trying to find out how old today's feast is, the Feast of the Holy Family. I have been unsuccessful, but I am almost certain that it is a fairly late feast in the history of the church. ...
• This feast is not likely to have been an early one because the early feasts were much more closely attached to biblical stories than were the later ones. ... You had your family, then you had them, and then you had God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All this is profoundly misleading and I think the onus of that misconception is what is driving my thoughts on today's feast. ...
• Then, of course, we have another complicating problem with getting to the point in which we can think in a useful and helpful way about the Holy Family today. ...
• So what do we do with the Feast of the Holy Family? I think we have to go back to that material in the New Testament that is echoed in this passage from 1 Samuel that Catherine read. ... So, although this flies directly in the face of the myth of My Blue Heaven with Molly and me and baby, at the same time it is somewhat liberating. ...
• So, finally, I will end this piece on the Holy Family with hope. ...

• THE FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION. ...
• This doctrine has been unblushingly avowed in the face of the British public, in a recent pastoral of the Popish Archbishop of Dublin. ...
• To the fact that Proserpine was currently worshipped in Pagan Greece, though well-known to be the wife of Pluto, the god of hell, under the name of "The Holy Virgin," we find Pausanias, while describing the grove Carnasius, thus bearing testimony: "This grove contains a statue of Apollo Carneus, of Mercury carrying a ram, and of Proserpine, the daughter of Ceres, who is called 'The HOLY VIRGIN. '" * The purity of this "Holy Virgin" did not consist merely in freedom from actual sin, but she was especially distinguished for her "immaculate conception;" for Proclus says, "She is called Core, through the purity of her essence, and her UNDEFILED transcendency in her GENERATIONS. ...
• If our sin in this matter is not nationally recognised, if it is not penitently confessed, if it is not put away from us; if, on the contrary, we go on increasing it, if now for the first time since the Revolution, while so manifestly dependent on the God of battles for the success of our arms, we affront Him to His face by sending idol priests into our camp, then, though we have national fasts, and days of humiliation without number, they cannot be accepted; they may procure us a temporary respite, but we may be certain that "the Lord's anger will not be turned away, His hand will be stretched out still. ...

• Feast of Tabernacles.
• The Feast of Tabernacles is the sixth of God’s annual festivals, starting on the 15th day of the seventh month on the Hebrew calendar. ...
• “Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the LORD for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest. ... You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. ...
• The veil shall be a divider for you between the holy place and the Most Holy. You shall put the mercy seat upon the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy. ...
• The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. ...
• The Israelites lived in tabernacles in the wilderness, and Moses spoke with God face to face in the Tabernacle of God. And of course, as we saw when looking at the Day of Atonement, the High Priest was to go into the Most Holy Place of the Tabernacle, in the presence of God, where the Ark of the Covenant was.
• When Christ came in the flesh, He was in a physical tabernacle (human body) and people were able to speak to Him face to face, as Moses had done in the Tabernacle in the wilderness.
• Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. ...
• He is our High Priest, and when He was on earth in a physical tabernacle people spoke with Him face to face; now we should seek God’s tabernacle today, which is the body of Christ, i. ... The Feast of Tabernacles reminds us of dwelling in tabernacles, as the Israelites did before entering the Promised Land, and it foreshadows the future when the Church shall be married to Christ, and thus be one with Christ and a part of the God Family, a part of the perfect tabernacle, into which billions of other humans will eventually enter in the future.
• And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy — everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem. ...
• The Feast of Tabernacles is to be a reminder of Israel’s experience in the wilderness and at the same time a shadow of things to come. ...
• Today, during the Feast of Tabernacles, we need the bread of life, just as the Israelites needed the manna in the wilderness.

The Presentation is an evocative liturgical feast, fixed since ancient times on the 40th day after Christmas, following what Jewish law had prescribed for the birth of all first-born males (cf. ... Christian traditions of the East and West have been interwoven, enriching the liturgy of this feast with a special procession in which the light of candles both large and small is a symbol of Christ, the true Light who came to illumine his people and all peoples. Today's feast is thus connected with the Nativity and Epiphany of the Lord. ... The Evangelist has even recorded the details of this event: Simeon and Anna, two elderly persons filled with faith and the Holy Spirit, received Jesus at the temple in Jerusalem. ... We are celebrating this feast with hearts still filled with the emotions we felt during the Jubilee period just ended. ... The Church expects your contribution, too, dear consecrated brothers and sisters, in order to travel on this new stage of our journey according to the guidelines I gave in my Apostolic Letter Novo millennio ineunte: to contemplate the face of Chist, to set out anew from him and to bear witness to his love. ... Every reality of consecrated life is born and each day reborn in ceaseless contemplation of Christ's face. The Church herself draws her energy from daily beholding the immortal beauty of the face of Christ, her Bridegroom. If every Christian is a believer who contemplates the face of God in Jesus Christ, you are so in a special way.

• Therefore, the Bible uses the image of the spring and fall rain, the former and latter rain, to represent the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Joel 2:23).
• Holy Spirit @ Pentecost.
• Holy Spirit in End Times.
• Holy Spirit.
• The fulfillment of the "early rain" occurred at the birth of the church when the Holy Spirit was poured out upon those gathered to celebrate Pentecost, the Feast of Weeks, after the resurrection of Jesus. The Feast of Weeks foreshadows a time when sinful men will be redeemed, as represented by the loaves of bread with leaven which are presented before the Lord. ... When the Holy Spirit was poured out upon those present, they were "refreshed" and redeemed. This fulfillment occurred exactly on the feast day which honors and teaches this concept.
• It is tempting to conclude that the fulfillment of the latter rain in the end times will occur on this same feast day. The Holy Spirit will be poured out upon all flesh which includes many sinful people, the leaven in the bread presented at the Feast of Weeks. ... Therefore, bearing the 144,000 in mind, perhaps the Feast of Unleavened Bread, bodies without sin, is the appropriate feast for the latter rain. This feast lasts seven days. ...
• God will pour out his spirit, the Holy Spirit, upon all of mankind (Joel 3:1-2 NAB; 2:28-29 KJV). ... The Feast of Unleavened Bread occurs in the first month of the Jewish calendar.
• There is more support for choosing the Feast of Unleavened Bread. ... The Feast of Weeks is an exception and occurs almost two months after the spring feasts. Given that Daniel's 70th Week will end on the Day of Atonement, a fall feast, and that the Warning will occur prior to the 3½ year reign of the Antichrist, the Warning must occur at the time of the spring feasts, so the Feast of Unleavened Bread fits this structure. ... Finally, it is likely that each feast day will have just one major prophetic fulfillment, so the Feast of Unleavened Bread must be the model for the latter rain, rather than the Feasts of Weeks.
